Interventional radiologists at UC-San Francisco have adopted the popular smart-speaker system Google Home (aka “Hey Google,” “OK Google”) for use in the surgical suite.

Centering a radiology department’s workflow around the electronic health record (EHR) can improve efficiency and make radiologists happy, according to a new study published in Academic Radiology.

Follow-up imaging adherence rates vary based on a number of factors, according to new research published in the American Journal of Roentgenology. The authors noted that closely monitoring such patterns can help providers engage patients and minimize risk.

When it comes to digital medicine, digital pathology is very late to the game. But its time is coming. And the benefits could be many: Bolstering the capabilities, efficiency and reach of individual pathologists, cutting patient wait times, streamlining multidisciplinary team meetings (MDTs) and offering more data-rich decision-making. It could even obviate a shortage of pathologists. Where does it fit into your strategic plan?

Researchers at Harvard and several institutions in Italy have shown that clinicians managing neuromuscular conditions receive clinically relevant information more consistently from structured radiology reports than from reports rendered in free text.
